I'm thinking about asking Ofsted if I can have an assistant so that I can up my numbers. How do I go about this do I need to send them a letter? I have just sent them one requesting them to inspect part of my house they hadn't previously registered.

Oh s##t. I'm not sure if taking on another person is what I'm going to do.
Have been re-writing my prices (all contracts to be renewed in Sept) putting no-ones overall prices up but basically increasing termly rates but decreasing holiday rates. It will keep me in line with the playscheme and I won't be charging a retainer for the holidays. Overall it works out better and in the long run should be more profitable, it also means that I can't be taken advantage.
